This self-contained noose effect was created for a show at Long Wharf Theatre. The script called for the hanged actor to be seen through an upstage window, but there was no opportunity to slip a suspended rope around the actor's neck due to a quick costume change and lack of space backstage. This backback apparatus was hidden under a robe so as not to be seen by the audience. Approximate construction time was 6 hours.
